NORFOLK ISLAND STYLEThis page is an historical record of a former page, aimed at securing knowledge about the cultivation of plants and livestock for food on Norfolk Island. The Food and Farming Alliance now has its own website www.foodandfarming.nf so this page will not be updated after 9 October 2023.
The Food and Farming Alliance is a network of people interested in the growing or marketing of food and in improving the food security of the Island. The group was formed on 5 September 2022, through active facilitation by the Growers’ Cooperative and is community-driven. It is not an arm of the Norfolk Island Regional Council or the Australian Government. The inaugural Convenor is Errol Unkles. It has been incorporated under Norfolk Island law.

See posts below for an expanding library of knowledge materials, including reports from the Council’s Home Grown workshops held in November 2022. Action around that time was triggered by Dr Cristelle Maurin’s draft Food Security Strategy, launched on 11 Nov. 2022 and her explanatory presentation. Also available is a summary of the “Priority Actions“, (updated as at 15 December). Dr Maurin has lodged a revised version of the Strategy with Council. The Food and Farming Alliance does not endorse the report or the accompanying Action Plan.
